thank god for dwi's

[Tims_240]

my friend knows a guy who got a dwi and is selling everything from his car, to pay his court costs, lol. But anyway he said he would sell his turbo to me for $30, What could i lose... so i bought it, ended up its a mazda mx6 turbo (RHB5), he gave me the intercooler, BOV,and plumbing and shit too. there is no play in the compressor fan or w/e its called. You think i got a good deal? lol, i have no fuckin clue how to hook this up anyone wanna give me a website that has like directions on how to do this.

Sounds like it was a good deal. Now with the "plumbing and shit", does that include oil lines? Well, nevermind. You should probably do about six months of research before you attempt to put this on. Read Maximum Boost by Corky Bell and Turbochargers by Hugh Macinnes. Do a lot of online research. Join some other forums. Basically start enjoying learning because you will need to do a lot of it to make this work. But just to humor your question, you will need:

Turbo manifold
probably new intercooler piping
a lot of fittings
Boost guage
A/F guage
Probably a small FMU or some injectors and SAFC
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
Oil lines and fittings www.import-autoperformance.com
Custom downpipe
Possibly some kind of timing control

Thats all I can think of right now, but you should be able to get some power out of this. I'm not too familiar with that turbo, but I'm sure some other guys on here can help you out with it. Good deal though.

well to give you a little info on the turbo, the factory output is higher than a T28 turbo that comes stock in a rb26dett, only by 5 kw though.

Ahh reap the benefits of the unfortunate.

You should also read the Turbo 101 in the Forced Induction forum. I just read that today and it is a really good write up.
